Mantis did all the maintenance for the previous owner on my MY06 997; they couldn't say enough good things about David and his team. My initial experience with them was very positive.

I have had great experience with Bestline both for major and minor work. I saw some pretty exotic cars there sometimes also. They pride themselves in their work, and when I had a very minor item they had missed they fixed it right away with no hassle,no delay.
I recommend then highly.

I would never use BestLine for my car - I know a few others who are disappointed as well - RUN away from this shop - IMHO - from my dealings and others it seems like posters on this thread are Raymond Lum's friends posting "good reviews"... nice try

there are some really good porsche shops that should be on your short list if you need work done - if your a PCA member ask around and you'll see

George in Burlington
For anyone interested. My name is Adam, I run Flynn Automotive around the corner from Auguste Lecourt. We have been bringing Porsches to him over the last few weeks, most recently a 1993 964 RS America. He has a 930 turbo engine in the shop at the moment that is being rebuilt. Best guy to work on your Porsche.

why not start a new thread recommending his services so people can see it and the new title? instead of adding to this thread about Bestline?
